Just the facts about <strong>backings</strong><br />

Cutting VOC emissions to<br />

improve indoor air quality<br />

Installation without glue<br />

Glue is used in conventional<br />

installation to keep the <strong>tile</strong>s<br />

in place and prevent gaps<br />

or upcurling during use.<br />

<strong>Interface</strong>FLOR has developed<br />

TacTiles , a revolutionary<br />

gluefree system to install <strong>carpet</strong><br />

<strong>tile</strong>s, which cuts environmental<br />

impacts drastically compared<br />

to traditional glue and virtually<br />

eliminates VOCs.<br />

TacTiles are placed in the<br />

corners <strong>of</strong> the <strong>tile</strong>s to connect<br />

them to each other and create<br />

a floating floor. This makes<br />

replacement and uplifting <strong>of</strong><br />

individual <strong>tile</strong>s much easier,<br />

and recycling at end <strong>of</strong> life<br />

less complicated, as the glue<br />

is not stuck to the backing.<br />

Installation waste from the<br />

packaging <strong>of</strong> the glue itself is<br />

also eliminated. TacTiles can<br />

be used with our Graphlex ® or<br />

GlasBac ® backing, which <strong>of</strong>fer<br />

superior dimensional stability.
